fish Report post Posted November 26, 2010 knocked this one up yesterday for my fish tailed scandi i made earlier in the year. The leather is veg tanned leather ,i wanted a sheath that is more discreet than a dangler so i can carry my knife when in the field without attracting too much attention.The design is my own but i guess similar to many sutch sheaths. thanks for looking.

I played with the idea of a cross draw for a lock-back blade some time ago. I had seen something similar many years ago, and revved up the grey matter (which at my age is a little rough to do) and made this little rig as a prototype. As you can see, it ain't made for a chubby guy, 'cause if you have much of a 'dew-lap' (you know, a belly or love-handles that do lap over your belt) this thing could cause problems. But is was a fun exercise. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had to come up with an excuse to get my hands on his lockblade so I told him I was going to take some of his knives and sharpen them for him. hahaha Thanks for the inspiration.
